The usual outfit of Reimu from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations. Mini-Tajikarao looks great, too!

I'm Reimu Hakurei, the blue shaman. Happy New Year. I've limited Mini-Tajikarao's power so she can stay active all the time.
Introduction
Happy New Year from me, Reimu Hakurei, the blue shaman. C'mon, Mini-Tajikarao, it's your turn. ...I've been investigating a world where it's always New Year's, but things look really bleak... I-I'm not happy! It's just things have been really rough lately, so this is kinda fun... Marisa sent me there, but I'm sure she'll forgive me!
Purple Heart
If every day were New Year's, even a shrine maiden would get tired of it.
Blue Heart
I wonder who created the oh-so-wonderful world where it's New Year's every day.
Green Heart
If every day is New Year's, that means the stars have stopped moving through the sky. Hey, Red, are you OK with that?
Orange Heart
Even in red, she's still obsessed with constellations. It's strangely comforting. I protested pretty hard when Yukari paired us up... b-but I guess it hasn't been so bad. She hasn't held me back yet.
Pink Heart
When I look at Red, I feel like the Marisa I left behind in my world is waiting patiently for me in high spirits... Keep that a secret, though. I know it's you, but if word gets out, I'll be super mad!
Summer
Listen to this! Red said she wants to go to a world with an ocean 'cause it's so hot! Picturing her in a swimsuit... I feel like she's bound to look better than me!
Login
Happy New Year's Day again. ...I spent so long in that world that I got used to greeting people like that. I-I'm not happy about it! Don't worry!
Enhancement
All right. Wanna play hanetsuki? I'll go easy on you.
Return
Those were some wonderful bullets. OK, time for our New Year's feast.
Home 1
I figured I'd ask Red to tell my fortune, but she said there'd be no point! Then, when I got annoyed and hit shuttlecocks at her, she Grazed them all! I'm so frustrated!
Home 2
I finally managed to write a cross on Red's face! For a Marisa, she's so grown up. It's so annoying. ...I suppose I'm a little more grown-up than your Reimu, though.
Home 3
I kinda have interworld travel figured out, but it used to be a nightmare. That's why the age difference between me and the Marisa I left back in my world... Actually, it's a long story. Let's talk about it another time.
Reaction 1
This hagoita is my purification rod reborn.
Reaction 2
Why do I still have a purification rod, then? Because I wouldn't seem like a shrine maiden without one. ...I get why you're confused, though.
Reaction 3
Oh, she fell asleep on my lap while I was talking. *pats head* *pats head some more*
Task
You're doing tasks? At New Year's? You really are a hard worker.
Task Complete
You finished your task? In that case, we can play hanetsuki!
Mail
This letter's addressed to you... but it seems like it came here from another world.
Errand Finished
Looks like someone's back. If they're here for their first shrine visit of the year, I hope they leave a big offering!
Start of Battle
Gensokyo, recall the first morning, that auspicious dream, till you tire of them!
Mid-Wave
Red's outfit is kinda... Never mind!
Victory
A shrine maiden can pull off any outfit. Flattery won't work on me, Red!
Defeat
I shudder to think what Mister Rinnosuke would say if I got this outfit dirty.

Character Information
Temperament: Hatsu-bare
Htasu-bare (a Touhou LW original) refers to sunny weather on New Year's Day. This is an apt temperament for Reimu, the blue shaman from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations.
She has retained the same temperament. (Strong against Sun Essence, Metal Phase, and Earth Phase, but weak to Moon Essence.)
Ability/Backstory: Capable of flight (Celebration)
The ability of Reimu Hakurei, the blue shaman from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). Her ability doesn't seem all that different from the F1 Universe Reimu's. One of the distinguishing features of this world is that it gets an awful lot of parallel-world visitors!
Yukari Yakumo ordered this Reimu to investigate parallel worlds. She was sent to this world that seemed blessed yet also cursed by constant New Year's celebrations as soon as they discovered it. This is because while this world may seem harmless at first glance, from the point of view of a shrine maiden like Reimu, there is almost nothing more irregular than a world composed solely of the most festive and ritually significant day of the year. You don't have to be a sage to figure out that there has to be a clue to help them resolve the big incident there. Of course, nothing is ever that simple, so despite Reimu's protests, she wasn't going alone.
"Why do I have to go with the red one?!"
"It's a hundred times worse for me, Blue."
Blue Reimu's first meeting with the red Marisa left a terrible impression, but it wasn't completely unfounded.
This Reimu owes her life to the Marisa of her world. Back when Reimu desperately needed to learn how to travel between worlds, she was at a complete loss, and time was running out for both Gensokyo and herself. Marisa was the one who gave her an out. Reimu had to sacrifice one of her dear friends, but she successfully managed to prolong her own life and Gensokyo's existence, at least for the time being. Also, thanks to Marisa's advice, she could now travel to other worlds to seek a more permanent solution. But she had to leave her Marisa behind in Gensokyo. Alone. Forced to bear all the shame and guilt of what they had done.
Reimu doesn't really care either way about the green Marisa because she's so strange, but the red one is taller and more mature than her Marisa. She's also way more powerful. Reimu can't stand getting one-upped by a Marisa... or rather a Marisa that isn't her Marisa. The fact that their faces look exactly the same just makes it worse.
But what really upsets her is that this red Marisa is like a mirror image of herself. She has set out on a journey to save her world's Reimu.
Attacks
Soapberry & Feathers
The Spread Shot of Reimu Hakurei, the blue shaman from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She plays hanetsuki in this attack. Hanetsuki is a game traditionally played on New Year's where two players use wooden paddles (called hagoita) to hit a shuttlecock (called a hane) back and forth. However, it is also a ritual that wards off misfortune, which makes it the unofficial sport of shrine maidens everywhere. Blue Reimu couldn't believe that she was being sent to investigate a silly world where it's always New Year's, but she was confident that with her skills, it wouldn't take long.

Youkai Hagoita
The Focus Shot of Reimu Hakurei, the blue shaman from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She misuses her hagoita in this attack. The new year used to be celebrated at the beginning of spring. Rituals were performed to chase away bad fortune and oni in order to usher in a peaceful year. But in this crazy world, it's always New Year's, and every day is a festival. It's also full of visitors from other parallel worlds letting loose and having fun. Unbeknownst to Reimu and Marisa, it seems they weren't the only ones sent there by Yukari.

Dream Artifact: Prayer-Imbued Yin-Yang Kishin Orbs
A Spell Card of Reimu Hakurei, the blue shaman from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She prays for the new year in this attack. The Spell Card Rules must be different in this world because battles of bullets there often take on the form of games traditionally played at New Year's. Reimu's purification rod has transformed into a yaogoita, and her ofuda have become shuttlecocks. However, Reimu complained that she doesn't really feel like a shrine maiden without an actual purification rod, so she carries one of her spares around. That way, she can always fight at her best.

First Dream Battle: Fantasy New Year
A Spell Card of Reimu Hakurei, the blue shaman from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She prays for the new year in this attack. For Reimu's first dream of the year, she dreamed of Marisa. Again. Specifically, the red Marisa who accompanied her on her parallel-world investigation. Much to Reimu's dismay, Marisa kept on beating her in games of hanetsuki and even protected her in a battle.

The First Fantasy Nature
The Last Word of Reimu Hakurei, the blue shaman from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She prays that she will be able to resolve the big incident. Reimu's shrine maiden instincts kept telling her that there was something familiar about this world.
Eventually, she found the answer in the Gensokyo Record, a document that explains the origin of Gensokyo. In the past, clans famed for their prowess in exterminating youkai gathered together and formed a village near a known den of youkai. Gensokyo was established when a barrier was created around these youkai exterminators and the youkai, trapping them both inside.
This is eerily similar to how people from all kinds of parallel worlds have been gathered in this strange world of non-stop celebrations. It's like this world was modeled after an older Gensokyo before incidents became a thing.
